Hi, Peter, I love the site. I am especially happy about having "How to Know and Grow" available again. BUT, it takes 8 weeks to get. The class I'm teaching on gesneriads start Nov. 1. Any chance I can get them sooner?
Thanks,
Carol
Congratulations to all involved in bringing back this classic. The original was one of the most useful guides to gesneriads available. This has been a long time coming.
Well done. :-)
Carol, if you ever need copies of "Know and Grow" fast, the best way is to send an email directly to the Publications Office at: publications@gesneriadsociety.org. We'll do our best to get copies to you as rapidly as possible.
Cheers,
Peter
